Hello All
RE Digikeijs DR5000
After reading the above want to give you the Full Spec on the System. And to answer some of the above questions.
1. Re English info the System come with Full English instructions.
2. At the moment Digikeijs don't have a product leaflets on any of there products for me to give out. I have asked for this and am sure these will come very soon.
3. The DR5000 what is it. Ok the easiest way to explain this is it is very like the Z21. The Unit has built in WiFi and not a router sat on top like the Z21. It also has a LAN port so you can connect up your Computer Internet router to the device.
The idea of the DCC system is so you can use it to run your layout through computer software like Train Controller, iTrain or Wingigipet for example.
There is also a configuration program that you can sown load for the system so you can drive the layout from this and program decoder and other devices. My self and other customer have been using this and it so easy to use that needing deep complicated instructions are not even needed. It all in English and works so well. You can even monitor the power usage of the system form here. It tells you in Amps and any point what is being used.
Also setting of accessory can be done through this configuration software. This configuration software is also how the system get it firmware updates. Even though the system has been out for only about two weeks, the first firmware update is out and just by down loading the new configuration software and linking the USB connection to your computer and opening the new config software loads the new update.
For more spec or info on the systems please look at our webpage.

We are also doing YouTube videos on the system to show you how it works and what you can do. But we are very busy and getting time to produce the Videos all take time.
The first batch of these has already sold out.
Other great things on the Unit is it had the following connections X-bus(Lenz) Loconet(Digitrax and Uhlenbrock) R-Bus (Roco) and also IR-control and S88Feedback. Due to the fact the system has for example X-Bus you can connect Lenz throttle and also a Lco-net throttle (Digitrax) at the same time and if you make a change on either throttle you can see this on both at the same time.
All of this is only part of the system capability and as we learn more i will and can give you updates.
I can only give you what 100% info that is available and correct as i get it.
Re APPs for controlling the trains at the moment i have only tested partly so don't want to give you info i am not 100% sure about. What i can tell you is it does work with iTrain app through the iTrain software.
If you have any other question please call or email me as i don't get the time to come on here.
